is it normal to hear the brakes make like a clunk, you can hear it if u r say in traffic, put your foot on the brake you can hear the calipers make a like clunk noise as they bind if you are only light with the pedal..
before i go about jacking up and taking the wheel off, looks like a big pain with no uncovered chassis members to lift it up on.. :/
shims n pins dude - these expire after a while - pretty simple to change esp if you need new pads anyway

Or they have been left out when replacing.
Now thats Timing...
Today i have replaced one of the calipers on a mates Fd becouse if you where rolling slowly and tap the brakes it would make a Clunk noise, then start Rattling like there was somthing loose, we decided it was coming from the OSF Brakes (rattling would go if you rested your foot on the peddle) I pulled it to bit and gave the caliper a good looking over and the only thing i could spot was the pad seemed quite loose in the caliper. I went home and measured the pad rest points on My car and his and there was quite alot of a diffrence so Today i swaped the caliper with one i had about and its stopped?
TBH if the Brakes where Squeeling i\'d say Shims, the Pins may be worn though?
now you mention it they have just started squealing as well..
there was **** loads of pad left when i last checked, so ill check the state of the shims and see if its loose etc
have to have a look on sunday as going japfest on sat :-)
cheers guys
